The emergence

From the outset, the emphasis in practice was on active rehabilitation, in which the patient plays an emphatic role in his own recovery. That philosophy – 30 years later – is still leading today Fysioplein. The fysiotherapists worked closely with orthopedic surgeons from the outset, with an initial emphasis on knee rehabilitation. Moreover, Dirk Jan de Jong was one of the first to understand the importance of proper sports footwear in connection with complaints and injuries. The shoe advice has also remained all these years.

This is where the collaboration with general practitioners and sports doctors came about, which has remained to this day and has become one of the spearheads of Fysioplein has grown.
